Healing Through Remembering.

Meeting With the Enemy

As part of the 2010 Independent Christmas Appeal, David McKittrick reports on how Healing Through Remembering are healing old wounds by bringing former foes together

Healing Through Remembering brings together people affected by the conflict in and about Northern Ireland, and gives them the opportunity to share their experiences and opinions. In this way, Healing Through Remembering works to promote cross-community dialogue.

They also organise a “Day of Private Reflection” which urges people to remember the impact of the conflict and share stories of mutual understanding. Its projects have received wide coverage from newspapers, as well as support from local communities.
